"Car key type" remote control device required to open gate.
 
Anyone know of a cheap device so I don't need to put my shopping down before
unlocking gate.

Fingers .You don't get much cheaper than that !!!
What sort of latch etc is on the gate .Fit one that only needs a push
to open ...like a magnetic one .

How is your missus going to get the remote out of her pocket/bag and press
the unlock button without putting the shopping down?

Get along to a friendly vet and get microchipped. Then modify one of
those cat flaps things they sell.

Run a search on ebay for garage door opener controls - look especially
at the Hong Kong suppliers. Put the control unit indoors and just wire
24v out to feed the unlock solenoid.

Another way would be a key pad entry system. Type the correct series of
digits in and the lock unlocks. I have one of these on my garage door,
beats searching for missing keys and going back for them when you have
forgotten them.

Clearly, what is required is voice operation!

With my wife, it would! Handsfree seemed to be the preference...

Tesco deliver shopping for £5, and they don't moan at me for spending
too much money on beer and pizza.


They actually deliver on certain days for a lot less than that .

Anyone know of a cheap device


Khaki trousers?
